Yeah, I cleaned mine when I put the oem intake back on.
Thanks for the idea though. Perhaps it's gone bad and needs replaced...

Anyone have input on the E30 map? Are DPs recommended for this tune?

Just had my DME unlocked, got a dedicated tablet, Twisted Tuning cable is on the way, just need to pick a map. Already have BMS air filter, charge pipe is coming soon, eventually will get catless DP.

The parts recommendations are listed when you select the map. so yes.

TT, can you elaborate on this?

"the DME's in these cars have similar failsafe's for EGT. that's not just a diesel thing. There are safeties for cat temps and etc."

Does the system cut back timing or reduce turbo pressure at a certain temperature? The reason I ask is I have been using my X5 to tow here lately in a pinch and I haven't had time to switch back to stock from stage 2. I go easy when towing and try not to push the motor to hard, I need to make time to work on this tow tune with you. I don't have a setup to monitor everything and I'm going to work on that at some point also. I'd probably feel better when towing if I could watch my egt's.

On a side note, I just took a 700 mile round trip with my stage 2 tune and averaged 27 mpg!! My everyday back and forth to work 30 miles gets me 24.2 mpg. 80% highway with 10 stops. Stock I was getting 21.7

All you need is MHD to monitor. it has what you need. Being that the car doesnt have actual EGT sensors, it have a temperature model that estimates based on a few things. Should remain fairly accurate on stock turbo though.

Mnstr,

What transmission are you going to use? Stock or a modified one? I don't see making 700+hp out of the engine an issue. I think putting it to the ground and having a trans that will hold up is the bigger problem. I'm glad your trying it though and can shed some light on this for the rest of us.

Finally had the chance to flash my car.

Ho-lee-shit. Went for the Stage 1+ and it’s insane over the stock tune. I love it. Can’t wait to get downpipes and go for Stage 2 or E85.

2 questions-
1. For those using stage 1+, did you limit power to the gears? If so, what are your settings?

2. How long did the initial flash take? Seems like most people experienced 20-35min. Mine literally did it in 7 min. I honestly thought something was going to be wrong when the flash completed but everything worked perfectly.

glad you like it. If you are using one of my Blaze cables or the Bimmergeeks cables, then the initial flash would be faster.

Yep, I was using you Blaze cable. No idea it would be that fast. Thanks for supporting us with great products!

stage one map suggests intercooler. from what i read e70 n55 has an intercooler which is 30% larger than an e90 n55. i guess the bump of 30% for the e70 is due to load increase / because of added mass. Id like to know what you guys think about that and do i need to have a custom intercooler made to run your maps
